Dionysos Theater presetns the play of Haris Romas "The rails behind me", directed by Alexia Papalazarou. The centre character, Thales, has a big problem. Ever since he was born, he has passed unnoticed. Nobody paid attention to him, nobody looked after him, he was neglected as if he didn't exist. As he characteristically recounts, he's always been average at everything, not good, not bad. Just average. As he now reaches the train station of a small town, in order to meet his wife who is going to take off with her lover, and plead for her to stay, he reflects upon pieces and bits of his whole life and sees faces jumping out before him, like his father, his brother, his classmate - an "idol" at school, the girl in the neighborhood who was the first love of all the kids around and the loud way in which she rejected Thales, the teacher whom he was afraid of but had a secret crush on, the dummy of the class who was always sticking next to him, mean aunt Maro, his wife, his son and others who, with him, play out the scenes from the course of an entire lifetime. The presence, lyrics and songs of Dionisis Savvopoulos have always been a catalyst for the character and will be until the end, because his work has been a a source of inspiration for Haris Romas to write "Οι ράγες πίσω μου". For reservations call: 22 818 999, 99 621 845 Performances every Friday - Saturday 20:30 and Sunday 18:30. Tickets: 15/12 euro, 10 euro student The play is in Greek.Thursday, 26th May

The Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre, Associated with the Pierides Foundation (NiMAC) and the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture organise and present the major retrospective exhibition Glyn Hughes 1931-2014. The exhibition, which is staged in collaboration with the Glyn Hughes Foundation, is curated by Yiannis Toumazis. The exhibition will be opened by H. E. the President of the Republic of Cyprus Mr. Nicos Anastasiades, on Friday, 27 May 2016 at 19:00. An opening party will follow in the Powerhouse garden, starting at 20:00 Few artists have left such an indelible mark on Cyprus as Glyn Hughes. Though a Welshman, his continuous residence on the island for almost six decades (1956-2014) acted as a catalyst for the development of contemporary art in Cyprus and not just that. Painter, set designer, director, teacher and educator, journalist, art and film critic, writer, poet, pioneer in performance art and happenings in Cyprus, among other things, Glyn Hughes was a multifaceted personality, full of intensity, colour and light, just like his work. Through a consistent course over time, Glyn Hughes was not only always present at everything interesting taking place in the island, but was also a methodical and at the same time fervent pioneer of abstract expressionism in Cyprus. With his diverse contribution, Hughes created the conditions that encouraged the active participation of the public in many new and innovative things happening in the field of arts. Additionally, of great importance was his creative collaboration and friendship with Christoforos Savva, at a time when Cyprus had just thrown off British rule and was trying to make a new start. The foundation of the Apophasis Gallery by the two artists was a decisive move that definitely changed the island’s art scene. For the first time, the scattered thoughts and visions of a group of young and dynamic men found the appropriate space and fertile ground for expression, in an island, where, despite the newly achieved independence, strong political, social and spiritual contradictions were prevalent. Hughes and Savva were pioneers in breaking the mould of the island’s art scene and managed to introduce into Cyprus a new and exciting way of comprehending art. Through their continuous artistic research and innovative actions, these artists laid the foundations of modernism and abstraction for a conscious transition from local to global at the exact moment when art had begun to take an almost academic character. Artist Glyn Hughes passed away on 23 October 2014, leaving behind significant work, which is crucial to the understanding of the evolution of art in Cyprus over the past sixty years. This exhibition, a due tribute to this great artist, examines the various aspects of the artistic personality of Glyn Hughes from 1931, when he was born, until his death, and presents, besides important works –paintings, costumes and set designs–, an extensive archival material, as well as many accounts of people who got to know him during his rich, creative career. Hughes’ personnal art collection will also be exhibited as well as all his articles that were published both in The Cyprus Weekly and Cyprus Mail. In the framework of the exhibition, a series of parallel events will be organised surrounding the life and work of Glyn Hughes. The detailed programme will be announced soon. Furthermore, the Open Archive of Glyn Hughes will take place at the Municipal Arts Centre from September to December, giving the opportunity to all those who hold works by Glyn Hughes or other material pertinent to the artist to provide relevant information. The Archive of Glyn Hughes aims to collect as much information as possible regarding the artist’s versatile oeuvre, with the primary objective of publishing a complete and detailed catalogue of his work. Relevant information regarding the days and opening hours of the Archive will be announced in the summer. A specially designed educational programme will also be applied for the exhibition, based on the concept of the Participatory Museum. The programme, which aims at creating a pedagogical platform of dialogue with the general public, will be realised in three phases. The first two have been designed and will be implemented by Dr Elena Stylianou, Despo Pasia and Stalo Antoniou with the participation of students of the postgraduate programme Visual Arts in Education of the European University Cyprus. The third and final phase will be implemented with the collaboration of Dr Andri Savva of the Art Education Team in the Department of Education of the University of Cyprus, and Dr Elena Stylianou. The first phase is an educational art workshop for students. The second phase aims at the cooperation of students and educators of all levels for the production of interactive activities that will encourage the creative involvement of the general public, so that the latter can produce their own interpretations of the current exhibition held at the Municipal Arts Centre. In the third phase, the material that will be produced by the previous two workshops will be used for the design and implementation of museum and art activities for a group of teenagers, who will participate in the summer school of the University of Cyprus (27 June – 2 July 2016). Opening hours: Daily except Sundays and Mondays, 10:00-21:00 27 May 2016 – 23 July 2016 6 September 2016 – 17 December 2016

The Cyprus Strollers is for everyone who loves life outdoors and wants to: Get some exercise at the weekend Explore the city paths of Nicosia and the Cyprus countryside Meet people and make new friends It is a new hiking club, based in Nicosia, starting operation in Autumn 2014. There is an activity practically every weekend, from October to May. Activities alternate between Saturdays and Sundays.The club is modeled on the successful Athens Strollers hiking club, launched by Xenophon in Athens, Greece in 2009. Xenophon is a passionate hiker and nature lover, who returned to his native Cyprus in 2013, after a 30+ year career abroad. The Cyprus Strollers welcome families (with children and/ or pets) living in Cyprus, irrespective of nationality, as well as visitors/ tourists, who love nature and search for hiking opportunities during their stay.Some walks last two to three hours and follow fairly easy routes or routes of medium difficulty. Other walks last between 1 ½ - 2 hours. Each walk announcement includes reference to the degree of difficulty. The majority of walks are suitable for people with a good health, a good heart and a good physical fitness. Some others last over 3 hours and involve more strenuous exercise which includes uphill climbing. These are given a degree of difficulty 3 rating and are addressed to hikers who have tested their ability in similar circumstances before and have a very good health and fitness. Most walks start in the morning and are followed by lunch (optional) at a taverna, or a picnic. Others start in the early afternoon and are followed by a drink and a snack. There is no membership fee to join the Cyprus Strollers and no charge is made for the walks. Your only cost is what you pay for your meal. For more information about the Cyprus Strollers, the schedule for this season, detailed directions to the walks and contact details visit the website www.cyprus-strollers.org If you attend a Cyprus Strollers walk you do so entirely at your own risk.
